    I guess I'll have to rent a car to get back home. Yikes.

    Is he pissed about the Mets again? Oh wait *** that's Spnited Airlines. Old eyes. My bad.

    Shockingly, other airlines fly that route. Cheaper than a one-way car rental and quicker, too.

    So rental cars are free and airlines cost money?

    And Spirit is refunding passengers' money, are they not?

    They're refunding money for today's flights. Not yet for tomorrow's. I'm also guessing it's not going to be an instant refund.

    Moddy: Car rental $46. Flight $150 plus taxes. I have credit card for gas, but not one with $150 available on it.

    Why are you such a smartass?

    Born that way. Plus you were unclear.
    You can do a one-way rental for 46?
